If I understand things correctly, 39cedf6f relies on
_Pragma ("GCC diagnostic push"), which requires GCC 4.6
or later, and so we can't apply its idea to GCC 4.5.3.

The typical solution for older GCCs right now is to
ignore the bogus warnings that they generate, which
implies that with these older compilers one should either
avoid -Werror, or avoid -Wmissing-prototypes and
-Wmissing-declarations and -Wsuggest-attributes=const.

(I assume he meant --enable-gcc-warnings?) and perhaps
--enable-gcc-warnings should be tweaked to disable these
problematic warnings with older compilers.
